Rehearsal conventions can include hot seating, role on the wall and still images. Technical conventions can include lighting, dialogue, monologue, set, costuming and entrances/exits. Theatrical conventions may include split focus, flashback/flashforward, narration, soliloquy and spoken thought)

How do they know what to say? How do they know what to do? How would this be scripted? What do you think it would be like?
Discuss how this would have to be scripted just like in the news etc without being a play – explain that this can sometimes look similar to a play script but not always as they will see tomorrow.
